I have been thinking about getting some of this film, I was looking at Porsche that had it done and from more than three feet away, you couldn't see the edges of the film.

I have had my front bumper painted twice already and it is covered in chips again, so it may be worth the expence. I doubt if they will have a film kit for a Skyline with a C-West body kit though:(

i saw a thing about this sort of stuff on telly.

they have templates for various models to do away with those god awful "car-bra's".

personally i think a lot of the stone chips is to do with being so close to a car in front.

its my windscreen i worry about!! i found out my insurance only pays up to

It is not worth the hassle covering your car in tape.
I covered mine in gaffa tape last time and it pulled a few bits of paint of taking it off!!!
I will be laving my car uncovered this weekend and just concentrating on not slipstreaming the car in front!
